It is DOA now. Should have included the 2 Big Conferences from the start. Tried to strong-arm, and look where it got them. Can't wait for Cody's crying now😂😂

Cody will just cheat then cite the lack of rules as justification for breaking the rules. Again.

You would fit in quite well with the NCAA, which has tried for decades (and failed) to repeal the law of supply and demand.

We have had like a hundred years of this "nonsense." More than that, actually. The "cap" was basically zero, in terms of actual cash, and schools ignored it, because the market the schools wanted to tap cost real money. When NIL became "legal," costs skyrocketed because schools need the best players they can find.

The schools are welcome to live by the laws you suggest, but they won't, because they want their TV rights to be worth the millions they're being paid for them. But they do want the rules, because they will lower costs.

 

That's nonsense. Even the NFL has caps, rules, and boundaries. 

The problem is that you are equating pay-for-play with NIL. No player has a right to demand pay from a University, but they can earn as much as they want off of their NIL. The only reason the Universities are playing this game right now is they have to because there are no rules. If they want to compete and stay relevant, then they have to keep playing the game. However, they all want rules and boundaries, with a stop on the bidding for players. Sark has commented on this, and so did Saban during the White House round table. Since College Football is a nation wide sport and athletes are transferring at will to chase $$$, then Federal Regulations are needed to set the structures, definitions and boundaries of this new era of college sports. Most likely they will adopt an NFL model with collective bargaining, antitrust exemptions, and a commissioner. This bill will fail because it is not addressing any of these issues. The B1G and SEC will never agree to participate in this old NCAA model.
